I joined Max BBB, Q and Seth on Freedom Tech Friday to talk about Freedom Fest, a new event for privacy, digital rights, civil liberties and freedom tech running alongside Bitfest at the Pendulum Hotel in Manchester this November. Freedom Fest is ticketed and marketed separately to reach freedom-minded communities who aren’t into Bitcoin yet, with talks from the Tor and GrapheneOS teams, Free Cities and HRF’s CBDC Tracker crew.
Listeners get 21% off Bitfest tickets with the code UNGOVERNABLE at bitfest.uk, limited to the first 21 uses.
We also got into the eight-ton overland camper mining three terahash off solar, the state of merchant adoption on BTC Map, the wrench-attack risk merchants take on by being on a map, and how Omarchy, OpenCode and Hermes have turned me into a prolific vibe coder.
